Re: AK47 made in Texas

They build an outstandingly authentic looking gun, dubious repetition for reliability though. I would love to have one if they get into full scale production.

Yes, yes. They were great builders, unfortunately their barrel suppliers made an inferior product that caused the gun to not function. I've heard that they might start up business again soon with saigas or full parts builds, but with reputable barrel manufacturers when their owner gets the money

Re: AK47 made in Texas

Originally the company was named "Arsenal USA", but apparently that caused some sort of trademark blowup with Arsenal Bulgaria. Ron, one of the owners, told me that. They also had a parts import company named "Global Trades". I can remember buying East German bakelite AK-74 mags off their gunshow table for $3 each in 2004.
